Work in progress: Hay field step 3

A step-by-step record of a new oil painting.

Step3: Adjust underpainting and clarify image.  Working slightly wet-into-wet (depending on how long underpainting had to dry). Here sky colour was changed and clouds added. Field behind sheds was intensified to pull eye into painting. Go for overall effect not details at this stage. Feel free to add/remove and change image elements for overall effect. Here the effect of cloud shadows adds interest and may be introduced to foreground to add a more dynamic element.
